Now they are worried about Google?

Many of us became worried when we learned of Google's "street view" intrusions into private property.
More worry developed when we learned that they were surveying wi-fi spots as well.
There were a lot of folks not that concerned because Google is left leaning, therefore benevolent by default.

Then came the discovery that Google had links to Government intelligence and that "secret" meetings had been held between Google and Government folks concerning the data take from their surveillance.
Another interesting and unsettling find was that, despite Google's insistence that wi-fi spying was an inadvertent bit of code, Google sought to patent the software.
Now a group calling itself Consumer Watchdog is up in arms and wants to know who is involved, who met whom, where and when.

When they came for the wi-fi, I said nothing...
Maybe they should spy on Google.

I feel so much safer now

Our government is going to set up a new system to protect our utilities from computer hacking.
The "Perfect Citizen" program intends to set sensors within the network of utility and other companies that would identify suspicious activity, collecting data, and warning appropriate parties.
They claim that the sensors will not "persistently" monitor the network but the Big Brother aspect is not being ignored.
Maybe NSA and Raytheon know what they are doing, but it is hard to shake the picture of government bumbling when it comes to technology.
It's either that or they are just setting up a way to spy on, and control our infrastructure networks.
